Commuting - Back in the saddle

I damaged my knee about... oh... 3 months ago now. It's not been bad enough to stop me riding for about the last month, but you know (I know some of you do!) when you just start making excuses? Like, I'm too tired, it's too far, I need my car tonight, etc.

Well, today I finally decided to cut the crap and get on with it. Ok, so I drove most of the way and just cycled the last 4 miles. Ok, so my speed was unimpressive. I still did it.

And I feel great! :D

Glad to hear you're back on the saddle :)

The longest journey starts with a single step... - honest, somebody said that, I'm not just makng it up!

Congradulations to you for recognizing that you have been living a lie and making excuses. I hope you recover fully from the knee injury and once again become a useful member of society. :D

Good for you, Ellie! Keep it up and you'll feel better and better about yourself.

Way to go! You'll be a cycling demon again before you know it. :D

Everything is right with the world again.

I know how that goes. I had to spend an involuntary month or two off my bike. I fell into a rut and I noticed a definite effort when pulling myself out of it.

But soon I was feeling as good as ever! :D

Way to go, Ellie!! I know it is easier to make an excuse than to push a pedal, but I also know you will be glad you chose the latter! Due to an early morning meeting, I had to cut my ride short, but it was absolutely inspiring, anyway! Hope you are back in the groove very soon!!

Ellie !!! GO GO GO GO GO !!!
